Saddam Hussein Part 1: Son of the Alleyways
In the spring of 1937, a baby is born... 'Saddam', meaning 鈥榦ne who confronts鈥�.
In the spring of 1937, a child dies and his brother is born. Translated from Arabic, the newborn鈥檚 name - Saddam - means 鈥榦ne who confronts鈥�. As his life will demonstrate, it couldn鈥檛 be more appropriate. So how does a boy from a tough peasant background go on to rise to the very top of Iraq鈥檚 leadership? How does his journey towards global infamy begin?
From Noiser, this is Real Dictators. This is part 1 of 5 of the Saddam Hussein story.
Narrated by Paul McGann. A Noiser production, written by Duncan Barrett.
